Alabama man charged for repeatedly putting toddler in dryer and turning it on
An Alabama man was arrested for repeatedly putting a toddler into a clothes dryer in the family home and then turning it on with the child inside it, multiple reports said.
Twenty five-year-old Steven Todhunter from Alabaster was arrested on January 12 and charged with aggravated child abuse. He was also charged with felony domestic abuse for holding a woman against a wall and choking her until she lost consciousness.
According to the charging documents, the abuse of the toddler took place in the home between May 2017 and May 2018. The incidents, however, were not reported to the authorities until September 2018.
The warrant did not state the age of the victim, but records show that Todhunter is the father of a three year old child.
That warrant states that he assaulted the woman on the same dates but did not state her relationship with Todhunter.
